Restoring Iphone Data

Your data is encrypted with your passcode. If you do not remember it, your data is already lost. It should have already been removed when you reset your phone. If you sync using iCloud messages you should be able to turn the feature on to sync messages to your device.

Otherwise, you'll need to restore from your backup

Troubleshooting Deleted Messages:

What to Consider:

A. Restore from Today's Backup:

Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.

B. Check Messages App:

If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check and see if the Messages app is enabled on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.

Elsewise, if they're gone, they're gone. That's just the way it is :(
